Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill Single Review

Review of Harrowdown Hill Single by Thom Yorke

Radiohead front man, political activist, all-round neurotic grouch, and now solo artist, Thom Yorke is a man with many strings to his bow. The first single from his The Eraser album sees him at his most direct, lyrically at least.A scratchy, funk inflected piece of IDM about the death of Dr David Kelly isn't exactly Hit Parade material, but Yorke's innate melodic knack makes Harrowdown Hill a beguiling pop song, despite the grim subject matter, and should be enough to show the casual fan that this is more than just a stopgap before the next Radiohead album.
